Yeah have been following this on Instagram...he's picking up a few endorsements from other pro hockey players. Hope it pans out for him!
I will buy some of his energy bars, unless they cost more than $100 each.
Too funny, as at the moment there is an ad for colorful frosted donuts all over the thread. :-)Last edited by Snively65; 01-09-2023, 05:40 PM.

Some of UNH's most dynamic attacking players (Darren Haydar, Derek Bekar, Bobby Francis and Poturalski) sadly followed the same pattern of getting small windows of NHL opportunity early in their respective careers, apparently failing to make an impression, before fading into careers as minor league lifers. I guess it's what happens when your program recruits at a certain level, which I suppose is a credit to Coaches Holt and Umile to have gotten their teams as far as they did at the apex times of their respective D-1 coaching careers.
It's hard to believe anyone associated with the UNH program in recent memory can expect a long NHL career, although the current five player contingent seems to be showing little sign of slowing down (other than perhaps JvR) ...I thought Gildon might have a shot, but he's now three years into his pro career, and it looks like he's still stuck in neutral. Crookshank hasn't exactly been lighting it up in the Sens' organization either ...Sworn Enemy of the Perpetually Offended

Rod Langway, Bobby Gould, Dave Lumley, the much-discussed Ty Conklin, Bobby Miller, Jay Miller, Andy Brickley, Norm Lacombe, Jamie Hislop, Bruce Crowder, Jason Krog, Mark Mowers, Bryan Muir, Steve Leach and Kevin Dean to name a few off the top of my head, guys with enough NHL service time to draw a decent pension anyway? I think Langway is the consensus best-ever UNH player at the NHL level, with a Cup ('79) and two Norris Trophies with the Capitals in the '80's to his name. As much crap as I've given him over the years, JvR is arguably the second most accomplished NHL level player amongst UNH alums. Gould had a good run in the '80's with the Capitals, Leach also with the Caps a few years after Gould and Langway, while guys like Lumley and Jay Miller had extended runs as enforcers that far exceeded their baseline skill levels.

As to your last comment I'd say Brett Pesce has a good chance of having a long career...if he stays healthy. And UNH can use players like Gildin...and especially Crookshank. Thanks for the education on the former UNH contingent.

Excellent post by Chuck on UNH alums in NHL. Interesting to me about last night’s game between the vR bros is the report that TvR recorded his 100th assist in his 500th game, when the box score does not award him an assist, but moreover Hockey DB has him at only 99 points (78 assists, 21 goals). More important is were they on the ice much at the same time and did they get into any dust ups? Anyone here remember the Eiserman bros getting into a tussle in front of the net at the student/band end in the UNH 5-4 win over Bentley on 28 November 2015? I was screaming at the refs to throw both Billy and Shane in the box. :-)
Speaking of JvR, I'm going to the Garden Monday to see the B's play the Flyers! Psyched...Last edited by HockeyRef; 01-13-2023, 11:50 AM.I'm just here for the hockey...
